Ear Wax Removal

Signs to look out for

There are a range of signs to watch out for which could indicate if you have an ear or hearing problem. Loss of hearing, earache, discomfort, discharge, ears feeling full, ringing, itching, loss of balance, dizziness and coughing can all be signs that a change has occurred in your ears and you should get them checked.

Simple diagnosis and treatments

Today, thanks to modern technology, there are medical treatments and procedures that can quickly diagnose ear and hearing conditions. Infections and skin conditions, as well as excessive and compacted wax, can be identified and treated quickly and painlessly at your local pharmacy.

Once the wax has been removed a hearing screening can be performed. This will identify any hearing issues and whether you require further treatment. However, in many cases, the initial problem could have simply been down to the presence of wax itself.

Fast local care

Recent advancements in medical technology now mean that ear and hearing screening, as well as other basic procedures, can now be performed in local clinics, pharmacies, care homes or even within the home. During an examination, high definition images and video of the inner ear can be recorded and shared with specialist doctors anywhere in the world.

Wax removal is no longer performed for free by the NHS, however fast and affordable services are now available locally on the high street, in shopping centres and at local health clinics. Accessing these services within the community removes the hassle of attending GP appointments and hospitals and lessens the strain on NHS resources.

Quick screen process

It only takes around 15 minutes to examine a patient and identify any issues within the ear. Then, if necessary, a fast and painless procedure can be undertaken to clear the ear of any debris or built-up wax which can immediately improve hearing capabilities.
